6 Working with the machine
Always secure the workpiece in such a
manner that it cannot move while being
cut.
The machine must always be held with
both hands by the designated handles
(5.1, 5.2).
Always push the machine forwards (5.3),
never pull the machine backwards to-
wards you.
You can use the milling machine only in
connection with the guide rail (3.1).
Attach the guide rail to the workpiece as follows
– The guide rail must extend at least 150 mm
beyond either end of the workpiece.
– Align the guide rail using the gauge mark (3.2).
The front edge (3.4) shows the centre of the
groove.
– Secure both sides of the guide rail to the work-
piece using two clamps (3.3).
Metalworking
The following precautions are to be taken
when processing metals for safety rea-
sons:
– Pre-connect a residual current circuit-breaker
(FI, PRCD).
– Connect the machine to a suitable dust extrac-
tor.
– Clean tool regularly of dust accumulations in
the motor housing.
Wear protective goggles.
Route the groove as follows
– Ensure that the sensor and depth stop are cor-
rectly set for the workpiece thickness.
– Place the machine on the guide rail in front of
the edge of the workpiece. The mark (4.7) shows
the centre axis of the milling machine.
– Switch on the machine.
– Move the machine downwards slowly until the
stop plate (4.4) is resting on the depth stop (4.5).
– Move the machine forward along the guide rail
in order to route the groove. The gauge mark
(4.6) shows the centre of the groove.
– When the groove is complete, switch the ma-
chine off and swivel it upwards.
Plunge-cut
In the case of plunge cuts, a guide limiter
(6.1) must be attached behind the ma-
chine because of the danger of kickbacks.
Position the machine on the guide limiter,
hold securely with both hands and move
it downwards very slowly.
7 Maintenance and care
Always remove the power supply plug
from the socket before carrying out any
work on the machine.
All maintenance and repair work which
requires the motor casing to be opened
may only be carried out by an authorised
service centre.
Always keep the machine and the ventilation slots
clean.
The tool is fi tted with special motor brushes with
an automatic cut-out. When the brushes become
worn the power supply is shut off automatically
and the tool comes to a standstill.
A brake disc (1.3) decelerates the sensor to pre-
vent it from being accelerated by the rotating
tool and leaving marks behind on the workpiece.
Replace the brake disc if its power decreases.

8 Accessories, tools
For your own safety, use only original
Festool accessories and Festool consum-
able material intended for this machine.
Because these components are designed spe-
cifi cally for the machine. Using accessories and
consumable material from other suppliers will
most likely affect the quality of your working
results and limit any warranty claims. Machine
wear or your own personal workload may increase
depending on the application. Protect yourself and
your machine, and preserve your warranty claims
by always using original Festool accessories and
Festool consumable material!
The order numbers of the accessories and tools
can be found in the Festool catalogue or on the
